My turquoise snowflake brooch seems to have taken the cooler weather with me as I travelled from the UK to Australia. We experienced very cool weather in Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains. They jokingly celebrate Christmas on 25th August, as it's normally cold then Down Under (their winter time). But this year they could well have synched up with Europe and the US and celebrated as per normal on 25th December - it was bitterly cold! Yes, Katoomba is high up so it is rather fresh all year round, but end of December is summer time there, yet it was like it was winter.
What with the floods up in Queensland, Australia is having some weird weather of late. I do put this down to global warming - you just need to upset a few weather patterns, and the effects can be quite extreme - I hope governments take notice.
